    Mike Moore's amazing RSR Targa Florio tribute...

    We agreed to a 'press embargo' of photos until after the public unveiling at 1.00pm UK time, so here you are!

    What was once Gib Bosworth's car has come a LONG way. Mike's car is probably the finest re-creation I've ever seen. We were privilieged to shoot it for Classic Porsche magazine, and it will be the subject of an eight-page feature in issue #17. Enjoy!





    And one happy Neil Bainbridge (the man behind the mechanicals!)!

    This result is no surprise given the "leaked" photos Mike has been posting on his engine build thread.

    I don't have a "Bucket List", but I think I may have to start one ... item #1? A go at the controls of Mike's car.

    Kudos!

    And here's a little video of the car doing a fly by that just lobbed into my inbox from one of my subscriptions - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TygJ3...email-subject5

    There may be a rude word at the end
